Dear Board,
I protest the short notice given about a meeting tomorrow, Wednesday, October 3, at which
consideration will be discussed regarding the waiving of the time requirement for the
landmarking of this properry.
I see no reason for attempting to waive the requirement and rushing a decision on this critical
landmarking. Sufficient time is needed for the staff to conduct a thorough evaluation of the
historical value of this property.
Sincerely,

All,
I was notified yesterday that the owners of 3231 l lth Street have asked to be on this evening's agenda.
I would like to reiterate that the historic nature of this house will not be preserved given the current
plans to develop to 7 to 9,000 sf. Please be aware that these feelings aze shared by neighbors new and
old. Neighbors who are doctors and teachers and members of the rea] estate committee. Neighbors who
aze vets and engineers and counselors. Boulder has to be sensitive to the fact that simply because one
does not live in designated historic sites; other sites should not also be preserved. Yes, this is a probably
a new concept, unfortunately, new concepts aze hard. Nonetheless - I appeal to your sense of good
judgement to allow the process to continue with public notice and partipation. Thank you for your time
and commitment to our city.
Elizabeth Jacques
rote:
I respectfully request that you consider landmazking 3231 l lth Street. This request is based on
a unique set of circumstances:
1) The history of this home and residents is rich and played a part in creating this lovely
neighborhood.
2) Newlands has very little of this sort of icon to remind us that stone workers and miners and
tradespeople were the foundation of our community
3) The current plans do NOT incorporate the materials used in the original structure - but are
from a different era that is inconsistent with the stone house's look.
4) The current plans will engulf and swallow up [he stone house so that no one will be able to
appreciate the charm and most importantly the reminder of the original hard working
community members.
5) It has come to my attention - based on personal interaction with the owners and their
representation at the last meeting that the owners have NO respect for this property and aze not
being truthful. The property cunent's status is of a run down, abandoned site - trees from the big
storm aze still on the ground. The lawn is dried up and brown.
6) Lastly - the plans indicating chopping down a 40 foot evergreen on the west side of the
house. The carbon foot print to replace this oxygenator has [o be enormous.
Please consider these thoughts. My husband and I Iive at 3240 th Street. I respect the
landowner's rights - but, they also should show a little respect for century old buildings and
neighbors who have lived here over 20 years and have made this neighborhood attractive to live
in. •
Unfortunately, we will be backpacking next week. We aze unable to make this meeting. Rest

Hello again,
Bev just informed me last night that you all aze meeting this evening, starting at 6 p.m., to discuss the
Clements' requests to waive time requirements and for a special meeting on the 24th of this month. I
was so surprised to find out there's a meeting; nothing was posted on the sign there. Isn't that required?
I hope you will not waive any time requirements, or hold any earty special meetings, and allow your
staff to thoroughly evaluate the historical value of that property. Thanks for all the work you do for us
all!
See you tonight.
